Hello darling Em, I can't believe that you are 10 years old!  It won't seem like it for you but ass you get older time seems to fly past.  It seems like just the other day you came into our lives and now a whole decade has passed and you have grown into a lovely, bright, kind, adventurous young lady ♥ This card, written by your teacher, describes exactly how you are!   You celebrated your 10th Birthday at our house.  Your dance shool had their annual musical presentation and we booked a table for grandparents and aunty Candice.  You looked amazing and your dancing was wonderful!

On 14 September you received a certificate at assembly so we were invited to attend.  We are always the proudest grandparents and love being there to support you when you are awarded certificates!

Hello Em, Sbongile invited us to her daughters 'Umhlonyana' (like our 21st celebration) on 11 Agust.   You wore the traditional outfit that Sbongile gave you for your birthday last year.  It was a challenge to get Mark up a steep, narrow path to the small house where the celebration was held but local men came out and carried him up on his wheelchair, The local children were fascinated with your long blond hair! During July and August Lewis Pugh (a UK born South African) became the first person to swim the full length of the English Channel, from Land's End to Dover , in just his cap, goggles and Speedo swimming trunks You enjoy going out for a skinny cuppuccino after school When you concentrate you stick your tongue out, just like your Dad!
